Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

I earn 62% more today with the fixed salary.

I do like such sensational statements. In the end, it’s a completely normal salary development. You just have to start low enough :D Addendum: "In 2012, more than 2.5 million employees earned less than €6 per hour." That means every low earner achieved a 100% salary increase from 2012 to 2023 :D

We have achieved salary increases of 102% within 5 years :cool:. And 347% within 14 years. Studied for many more years, changed industry, gained work experience, climbed up the "rank". But what does that say now? It says that back then in the healthcare sector we simply had a miserable salary :D. And no, I’m not laughing about the salaries that were sometimes paid back then and probably still today. You can gladly interpret that as deeply sarcastic laughter, because it’s anything but funny that today we get paid much better for typing on a PC than we did back then when we had socially meaningful work.

Absolutely correct. Large percentage increases only show that it could have simply been too poor before.

Although this is surely associated with significant career steps. In my opinion, such leaps are rather unusual at > 50 years. Still, congratulations on this increase o_O

At >50 years, most of the loan should usually be paid off, so large jumps are no longer quite as crucial in terms of financing. Usually, one starts building a house around the age of 30, and such leaps until one is 40 are definitely easier and also more important in terms of follow-up financing. I just checked, and even without changing employers and without collective bargaining agreements, I earn 67% more today than 10 years ago. Although today I do hold a more responsible position than before.

Have 49% more salary here in the non-union company than 10 years ago without promotion and without significant change in tasks. Also didn’t have to negotiate much. No one knows if it will continue like this.

So you’re just getting inflation compensation or what? That’s not bad.
